The other evening I suggested to my kids that we take an evening walk. It was a beautiful evening and I didn't have to meet my husband at the train station that night.
Among moans of no, one of them ( probably the sugar-aholic) said "How about to Dribbles?" (the local ice cream shop) I said "No, the other direction, to the beach."
More groans of no.
I did not let the moans and groans dampen my enthusiasm and made everyone come along, even the sullen teen. Lucky for me it was low tide.
There were jellyfish on the beach
and tons of crabs 
and critters under the rocks.
In the end I had to call them to go back home again.
